Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Service Properties Trust, or we, us or our, is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized on February 7, 1995 under the laws of the State of Maryland, which invests in hotels and service-focused retail net lease properties. At March 31, 2025, we owned, directly and through our subsidiaries,202 hotels and 739 service-focused retail net lease properties.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of us are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, or our 2024 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned directly or indirectly by us. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods and those of our managers and tenants are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements include the allowance for credit losses, purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets and impairment of real estate and related intangibles.

We have determined that each of our wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, is a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined under the Consolidation Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification™, or ASC. We have concluded that we must consolidate each of our wholly owned TRSs because we are the entity with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such VIEs’ performance and we have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from each VIE that could be significant to the VIE and are, therefore, the primary beneficiary of each VIE. The assets of our TRSs were $157,084 and $144,079 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and consist primarily of our TRSs’ investment in Sonesta International Hotels Corporation’s, or, collectively with its parent and subsidiaries, Sonesta’s, common stock and amounts due from and working capital advances to certain of our hotel managers. The liabilities of our TRSs were $94,169 and $78,749 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and consist primarily of amounts payable to certain of our hotel managers. The assets of our TRSs are available to satisfy our TRSs’ obligations and we have guaranteed certain obligations of our TRSs.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-09, which requires public entities to enhance its annual income tax disclosures by requiring: (i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU No. 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, or ASU 2024-03, which requires public entities to disclose specific expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. These details must be presented in a tabular format in the notes to financial statements for both interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively but can be applied retrospectively, and is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

We report hotel operating revenues for managed hotels in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We generally recognize hotel operating revenues, consisting primarily of room and food and beverage sales, when goods and services are provided.

We report rental income for leased properties in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We recognize rental income from operating leases on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease agreements. We increased rental income by $3,878 and $5,768 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to record scheduled rent changes under certain of our leases on a straight line basis. Other assets, net, includes $87,001 and $81,574 of straight line rent receivables at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Certain of our lease agreements require additional percentage rent if gross revenues of our properties exceed certain thresholds defined in our lease agreements. We determine percentage rent due to us under our leases monthly, quarterly or annually, as applicable, depending on the specific lease terms, and recognize it when all contingencies are met and the rent is earned. We recorded percentage rent of $846 and $544 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 4. Per Common Share Amounts

We calculate basic earnings per common share using the two class method. We calculate diluted earnings per common share using the more dilutive of the two class method or the treasury stock method. Unvested common share awards and other potentially dilutive common shares, together with the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted earnings per common share. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

The sales of these properties as presented in the table below do not represent significant dispositions, individually or in the aggregate, nor do they represent a strategic shift in our business. As a result, the results of the operations of these properties are included in continuing operations through the date of sale in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

We are at various stages of selling 114 hotels with a total of 14,925 keys andsix net lease properties with a total of 80,249 square feet for sale. We believe it is probable that the sales of these properties will be completed within one year.

Hotel Agreements

Sonesta Agreement

As of March 31, 2025, Sonesta managed 39 of our full service hotels,99 of our extended stay hotels and 39 of our select service hotels pursuant to management agreements for all of the hotels, which we collectively refer to as our Sonesta agreement. As of March 31, 2025, the hotels Sonesta managed for us comprised approximately 49.8% of our total historical real estate investments.

Our Sonesta agreement, which expires on January 31, 2037 and includestwo 15-year renewal options, provides that we are paid an annual owner’s priority return if gross revenues of the hotels, after payment of hotel operating expenses and management and related fees (other than Sonesta’s incentive fee, if applicable), are sufficient to do so. The Sonesta agreement further provides that we are paid an additional return equal to 80% of the operating profits, as defined therein, after paying the owner’s priority return, reimbursing owner or manager advances, funding FF&E reserves and paying Sonesta’s incentive fee, if applicable. We do not have any security deposits or guarantees for our Sonesta hotels. We realized returns under our Sonesta agreement of $18,169 and $27,375 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Our Sonesta agreement requires us to fund capital expenditures made at our hotels. We incurred capital expenditures for hotels included in our Sonesta agreement in an aggregate amount of $41,561 and $46,996 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which resulted in increases in our contractual annual owner’s priority returns of $2,494 and $2,820, respectively. Our annual priority return under our Sonesta agreement as of March 31, 2025 was $354,924. We owed Sonesta $7,517 and $18,199 for capital expenditures and other reimbursements at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Sonesta owed us $19,908 and $3,911 in owner’s priority returns and other amounts as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amounts due from Sonesta are included in due from related persons and amounts owed to Sonesta are included in due to related persons in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our Sonesta agreement requires that 5% of the hotel gross revenues be escrowed for future capital expenditures as FF&E reserves, subject to available cash flows after payment of the owner’s priority returns due to us. No FF&E escrow deposits were required during either of the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

Pursuant to our Sonesta agreement, we incurred management, reservation and system fees and reimbursement costs for certain guest loyalty, marketing programs and third-party reservation transmission fees of $26,276 and $27,015 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These fees and costs are included in hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). In addition, we incurred procurement and construction supervision fees payable to Sonesta of $621 and $400 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which amounts have been capitalized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related capital assets.

We are required to maintain working capital for each of our hotels managed by Sonesta and have advanced a fixed amount based on the number of rooms in each hotel to meet the cash needs for hotel operations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had advanced $45,952 and $46,466, respectively, of initial working capital to Sonesta net of any working capital returned to us on termination of the applicable management agreements in connection with hotels we have sold. These amounts are included in other assets, net and assets of properties held for sale, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any remaining working capital would be returned to us upon termination in accordance with the terms of our Sonesta agreement.

See Notes 7 and 11 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with Sonesta.

Hyatt Agreement

As of March 31, 2025, Hyatt managed 17 of our select service hotels pursuant to a portfolio management agreement that expires on March 31, 2031, or our Hyatt agreement, and provides that, as of March 31, 2025, we are to be paid an annual owner’s priority return of $17,400. Any returns we receive from Hyatt are currently limited to the hotels’ available cash flows, if any, after payment of operating expenses. Hyatt has provided us with a $30,000 limited guarantee for 75% of the aggregate annual owner’s priority returns due to us that became effective upon substantial completion of planned renovations of the hotels, which occurred in January 2025. We realized returns under our Hyatt agreement of $3,127 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and a net operating loss of $1,108 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the hotels under this agreement generated cash flows that were less than the guaranteed owner’s priority level due to us for this period, and we reduced hotel operating expenses by $1,367, to record the guaranteed amount of the shortfall due from Hyatt. The available balance of the guaranty was $28,633 as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred capital expenditures for certain hotels included in our Hyatt agreement of $1,619; however, the contractual annual owner’s priority returns did not increase as the cost of the renovations had reached the maximum stated in our management agreement with Hyatt. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred capital expenditures for certain hotels included in our Hyatt agreement of $20,225, which resulted in an increase in our contractual annual owner’s priority returns of $1,214.

Radisson Agreement

As of March 31, 2025, Radisson managed seven of our full service hotels pursuant to a portfolio management agreement that expires on July 31, 2031, or our Radisson agreement, and provides that we are to be paid an annual owner’s priority return of $10,906. Radisson has provided us with a $22,000 limited guarantee for 75% of the aggregate annual owner’s priority returns due to us that became effective on January 1, 2023, subject to adjustment for planned renovations of certain hotels, which occurred in December 2024. We realized returns under our Radisson agreement of $1,403 and $1,451 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the hotels under this agreement generated cash flows that were less than the guaranteed owner’s priority level due to us for these periods, and we reduced hotel operating expenses by $2,045 and $522, respectively, to record the guaranteed amount of the shortfalls due from Radisson. The available balance of the guaranty was $19,305 as of March 31, 2025. We didnot incur any capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2025 for the hotels included in our Radisson agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred capital expenditures of $286 for the hotels included in our Radisson agreement, which resulted in an increase in our contractual owner’s priority returns of $17.

IHG Agreement

Our management agreement with IHG forone hotel expires on January 31, 2026. We realized returns under our management agreement with IHG of $2,243 and $1,593 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Any returns we receive from IHG are limited to the hotel’s available cash flows, if any, after payment of operating expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred capital expenditures of $975 and $149, respectively, for the hotel included in our IHG agreement.

Net Lease Portfolio

As of March 31, 2025, we owned 739 service-focused retail net lease properties with an aggregate of 13,189,476 square feet with leases requiring annual minimum rents of $380,568 with a weighted (by annual minimum rents) average remaining lease term of 7.8 years. Our net lease properties were 97.8% occupied and leased by 175 tenants operating under 136 brands in 21 distinct industries.

TA Leases

As of March 31, 2025, TA is our largest tenant, representing 28.8% of our total historical real estate investments. We lease to TA a total of 175 travel centers under five master leases that expire in 2033, or our TA leases, subject to TA’s right to extend those leases, and require annual minimum rents of $259,080 as of March 31, 2025. TA receives a monthly rent credit totaling $25,000 per year over the 10-year initial term of the TA leases as a result of rent it prepaid.

Our TA leases are “triple net” leases that require TA to pay all costs incurred in the operation of the leased travel centers, including personnel, utility, inventory, customer service and insurance expenses, real estate and personal property taxes, environmental related expenses, underground storage tank maintenance costs and ground lease payments at those travel centers at which we lease the property and sublease it to TA. Our TA leases generally require TA to indemnify us for certain environmental matters and for liabilities that arise during the terms of the leases from ownership or operation of the leased travel centers. Our TA leases do not require FF&E escrow deposits. However, TA is required to maintain the leased travel centers, including structural and non-structural components. BP Corporation North America Inc., a subsidiary of BP p.l.c., guarantees payment under each of the TA leases, limited to an aggregate cap which was $3,037,475 as of March 31, 2025.

We recognized rental income from our TA leases of $67,834 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Rental income was increased by $3,039 and $4,309 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to record the scheduled rent changes on a straight line basis. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had receivables for current rent amounts owed to us by TA and straight line rent adjustments of $44,811 and $40,097, respectively, included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our other net lease agreements generally provide for minimum rent payments and in addition may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market-based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. We recognized rental income from our net lease properties (excluding TA) of $32,382 and $32,180 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which included $839 and $1,459, respectively, of adjustments to record scheduled rent changes under certain of our leases on a straight line basis.

We continually review receivables related to rent, straight line rent and property operating expense reimbursements and determine collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. The review includes an assessment of whether substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease are probable of collection. For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight line basis over the lease term. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as cash is received. We recognize all changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease as an adjustment to rental income. We recorded reserves for uncollectable amounts and reduced rental income by $235 and $665 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, based on our assessment of the collectability of rents. We had reserves for uncollectable rents of $4,959 and $5,058 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, included in other assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7. Equity Method Investment

As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we owned 34% of Sonesta’s outstanding common stock. We account for our 34% non-controlling interest in Sonesta under the equity method of accounting.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our investment in Sonesta had a carrying value of $112,024 and $115,818, respectively. On the date of acquisition of our initial equity interest in Sonesta (February 27, 2020), the cost basis of our investment in Sonesta exceeded our proportionate share of Sonesta’s total stockholders’ equity book value by an aggregate of $8,000. As required under GAAP, we are amortizing this difference to equity in earnings of an investee over 31 years, the weighted average remaining useful life of the real estate assets and intangible assets and liabilities owned by Sonesta as of the date of our acquisition. We recorded amortization of the basis difference of $65 in each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. We recognized losses of $3,947 and $5,338 related to our investment in Sonesta for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts, which include amortization of the basis difference, are included in equity in losses of an investee in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

We recorded a liability of $42,000 for the fair value of our initial investment in Sonesta, as no cash consideration was exchanged related to the modification of our management agreement with, and investment in, Sonesta. This liability for our investment in Sonesta is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized on a straight line basis through the initial term of the Sonesta agreement, January 31, 2037, as a reduction to hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We reduced hotel operating expenses by $621 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 for amortization of this liability. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the unamortized balance of this liability was $29,374 and $29,995, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we funded a capital contribution to Sonesta of $3,392 to support its growth initiatives, including its franchising efforts. We continue to maintain our 34% ownership in Sonesta after giving effect to this contribution.

See Notes 6 and 11 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with Sonesta.

Note 8. Indebtedness

Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2025 were: (1) $50,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $650,000 revolving credit facility; (2) $4,075,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (3) $1,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes; (4) $606,122 aggregate outstanding principal amount of net lease mortgage notes; and (5) $45,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $45,000 variable funding note.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $650,000 secured revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayments are due until maturity. Availability of borrowings under our credit agreement is subject to ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is June 29, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have an option to further extend the stated maturity date of the facility bytwo additionalsix-month periods.

Interest payable on drawings under our revolving credit facility is based on the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreement, which was 2.50% as of March 31, 2025. We also pay unused commitment fees of 20 to 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility based on amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 6.91% and 7.84%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 6.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We hadno borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of both March 31, 2025 and May 2, 2025, we had $50,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $600,000 available for borrowings.

As collateral for all loans and other obligations under our revolving credit facility, certain of our subsidiaries pledged all of their respective equity interests in certain of our direct and indirect property owning subsidiaries, and our pledged subsidiaries provided first mortgage liens on 67 properties, including 64 hotels andthree net lease properties, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1,691,230 as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we soldtwo hotels that previously served as collateral under our revolving credit facility. In connection with the sales of these hotels, the hotels were released from the collateral pool in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit facility.

In February 2025, we and our lenders amended the agreement governing our revolving credit facility to reduce the required debt service coverage ratio covenant from 1.50 times to 1.30 times effective with respect to the fourth quarter of 2024 and continuing through the end of the loan term. In order to exercise the first extension option, we are required to maintain a 1.50 times debt service coverage level as of and for the duration of the extension period. We also agreed to change the required collateral property debt yield to 10% effective with respect to the first quarter of 2025 and continuing through the end of the loan term and to swap collateral properties as follows:47 hotels with an aggregate of 7,981 keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1,375,449 will be released from the collateral pool and 35 travel centers leased to TA, which travel centers we refer to as our TA No. 5 lease, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $598,908, will be added as collateral to our revolving credit facility. Of the hotels being released from the collateral pool,36 hotels with an aggregate of 4,862 keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $655,514 are part of our hotel disposition plan. The corresponding equity pledges will be swapped as well. We expect to complete this collateral swap by the end of the second quarter of 2025.

Our debt agreements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR, ceasing to act as our business manager. Our debt agreements also contain covenants, including those that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are subject to meeting ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our debt agreements as of March 31, 2025.

Net Lease Mortgage Notes

Our$610,200 in aggregate principal amount of net lease mortgage notes were issued on February 10, 2023 by our wholly owned, special purpose bankruptcy remote, indirect subsidiary, SVC ABS LLC, or the Issuer. The Issuer is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and liabilities. The assets of the Issuer are not available to pay or otherwise satisfy obligations to the creditors of any owners or affiliates of the Issuer.

Our net lease mortgage notes are summarized below:

The Class A notes and the Class B notes require monthly principal repayments at an annualized rate of 0.50% and 0.25% of the balance outstanding, respectively, and the Class C notes require interest payments only, with balloon payments due at maturity. The notes mature in February 2028 and may be redeemed without penalty 24 months prior to the scheduled maturity date beginning in February 2026. The notes are non-recourse and, as of March 31, 2025, were secured by 315 net lease retail properties owned by the Issuer. As of March 31, 2025, the current leases relating to those properties required annual minimum rents of $67,001 and had an aggregate undepreciated book value of $760,165.

On January 27, 2025, the Issuer issued a variable funding note, or the VFN, secured by the 315 net lease properties that secure our existing $606,122 of net lease mortgage notes. The VFN permits borrowings on a revolving basis up to $45,000 and the Issuer can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available until maturity. The maturity date of the VFN is January 27, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, can be extended byone year at the Issuer’s option. The VFN requires interest payments only on drawings under the VFN based on SOFR plus a margin of 1.75%, and an unused commitment fee of 50 basis points per annum paid on undrawn amounts. As of March 31, 2025, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under the VFN was 6.16%. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the VFN was 6.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, $45,000 was outstanding under the VFN.
